Telepresence Robots May Soon Go to Meetings Instead of You!

In his NY Times article John Markoff provides a few scenarios how "telepresence robots" can replace you at work from remote surgery or going to meetings to supervising your employees or paying social visits. Reminds me of this Surrogates movie with Bruce Willis. And forget robotic arms or legs: in most cases a rumba-like contraption with a monitor on top Skype-ing your face over the wifi will suffice :-)

Target profession: surgeons, mid-level managers
